Moves like that get people killed… and I’m not talking about the SUV coming down the right lane. My wife does this exact “good samaritan” routine quite often with the EXACT same result: pedestrian wanders out into the path of oncoming traffic while impatient clueless driver pulls around car stopped in the middle of traffic for no apparent reason…

morale of the story (imho)? DON’T DO IT!!! you can get someone killed.

Aren’t you by law supposed to stop to let people cross the street even if there is no stoplight or sign or crosswalk? I always do after watching the LAPD sting operation where they sent a guy in a 7 foot tall bunny suit crossing the street and busting people for not stopping on the news….
